Really like this concept

There are plenty of calorie-counting apps out there. This is not one of them. This is an overall healthy eating and exercising app. This app is based on the premise that we really all have an idea of what we should be eating, and we are smart enough to look at a meal and evaluate whether its healthy or unhealthy. For those who are total newbies to nutrition, there is a guide that tells you whether a meal is (from healthiest to unhealthiest) green, yellow, orange, or red, and whether it is a small snack or a large meal.

I dont care for calorie counters because its completely tedious to log every single tablespoon of oil and I dont believe calories in-calories out is the full story of any diet. (There has been a lot written about this - look up Gary Taubes if you are interested.) GO is a new, visual concept. You judge your meal using guidelines and (optional) take a snapshot. Do the same for a workout, without photo. As time goes on, youll be able to look back on your history and see overall whether your habits have been healthy or unhealthy. Its motivating to want to get more green dots than orange and red dots.

I have a few wishes for the app: perhaps a weight counter so you can see your weight in the timeline to see how your general habits affect your weight over the long haul. Maybe also some way to track a couple of optional habits, such as water intake, and have those show up on the chart. It would be cool to see little glasses of water show up on the timeline. They also mail really good diet tips, and it would be great to see these pushed through the app. :)

Anyway, there is a slight learning curve, but I like this app and I appreciate having something for those of us who are tired of and disillusioned with calorie counting!
